Boughknight was good tonight

I know. I get it. They had no choice. They’re not going to give up on a 1st round talent this early. But it’s such a Charlotte thing to have happen.

I'm sure they have seen enough of him in practices and G league games to know that he can flat out score. The coach recently said he has starter's talent. This is s a kid with a high ceiling.

Maybe playing time is Bouknights therapy. Instead of the bottle in his hands replace it with a basketball. He probably has to give up drinking for life if not then don’t drive at least.
Expand ...
Yup. He’s definitely someone that can’t just have one or 2
 
So that extension means Jordan is a believer and is going to stick with him?

"Boughknight?"

Inside joke? Or was your blood-alcohol level a bit high?

That's another $4.5 mil, so he's guaranteed over $13 mil now with 1 more team option for $6 million before restricted free agency.

He tried to screw it up, but teams are loathe to give up on young, lottery players (Jalen Smith just provided a nice example for him). He and his family are now set for life, 2nd contract and 4th years don't even matter.

well,many players made more money than that and ended up not set for life. but i sincerely hope you're right.

you don't say?
dr boneyard is, by far, the absolute worst medical practitioner on the planet. why, just the other week, i was informed that young james will be sent to the betty ford clinic for rehab, and then put out to pasture, never to get paid big coin again for bouncing the ball.
and then, there's that tua qb guy, who dr boneyard informed me will be a quivering mass of jelly in 20 minutes. i see that he's been playing again, too.
now, over to dr boneyard's latest on our girl who broke her knee bone, or some rubber bands holding that together. mebbe she'll make it back for the 2024 olympics. 2028?


metaverse? metaverse? sum one should tell that guy he's a quack, too.
as if.

I am thrilled he’s gotten another chanc. However, he’s definitely not set for life, unless he reverses the reckless behavior that put himself and others in jeopardy. James needs to view this exercisesd option as a last chance, rather than validation of his past trajectory.

They aren’t really set up for life, depending on how he’s spent that money. I can’t imagine he’s been a saver.

And the hangers on posse that are going to do what?? I am praying that he makes the right decisions and that comes by surrounding himself with stable people who wake up with a productive task in front of them.

Huh? Few people can have one or two drinks? That doesn't jibe with my experience at all. I know a few people who I would consider problem drinkers but the vast majority of people I know have a drink or two at the cocktail party and call it a night.

I thought it was a play on words…few can…few cans. Not sure though lol

Year to date down 70% and 22% there. The management team needs to be fired. It can't forecast.

I'm rooting for James, while being mindful & not unconcerned that his accumulated reckless behaviors could lead to him causing great harm to himself or innocent others.

In the closed thread, it did seem as though many were working through their own historically with similar emotionally impactful matters. Some came off like macho yentas, offering successive hot takes and showing a perverse affinity for unsavory drama.
Expand ...
Macho Yentas is such a good phrase. I've been waiting for something like that.
Much of the Sports landscape has begun to cater to them. Sports round table shows now resemble "The View". Two days ago I saw prominent football personalities waxing on Tom and Giselle and their family drama.

Agreed about his decision making and behavior, but he could play out his contract and live extremely comfortable the rest of his life (and his family, too). That is the definition of set for life. Anything else is outside the scope of the term. As long as he plays the next year and half, he'll have the opportunity for lifelong comfort. Now that does mean he has to stay out of prison and/or avoid anything that would allow the team to void the remaining contract.

Mixing alcohol, guns and 100mph driving are ways to make the money vanish in the blink of an eye. That’s one reason it is a mistake for an observer to overlook the “maturity” aspect and that’s a point Chief has been trying to drive home for the last few years. But even more important are the lives involved including James.

Yeah he got a blessing after railroading Borrego, who I think is a good coach, and the incident. I firmly believe this is his last chance. I just hope they keep him in the rotation once their starting guards return. Pressure is on for him to produce. He didn’t look good tonight got 26 minutes and only scored 11 0 assists. Perfect time to attend a home game where it’s do or die for his rotation spot.

Also, Nick Richards is low key the 2nd best player on this Charlotte team.
